Petition Filed in U. S. District Court by Republic Supply Company.
By United Press
A friendly receivership In equity for the Richfield Oil company of California, one of the largest petroleum marketers in the country, was established in United States District court here today.
Although the company's assets were listed as four times its liabilities, the action was taken because it lacked sufficient cash to meet obligations.
The petition was filed by the Republic Supply company of California. It listed the assets of the Richfield company at $120,000,000 and its liabilities at approximately $35,000,000. The Republic company claimed $275,000, assertedly long overdue.
The receivership In equity will allow- Richfield to continue operating rather than to force It Into liquidation, as Is the case in receiverships in bankruptcy.	,
William C. McDuffie, recently elected president of ltlchfleld at the instigation of creditors, was named receiver In equity by Federal Judge William P. James, and filed bonds of $3,500,000 — said to be the largest bond ever written in the west.
In order to qualify as receiver, McDuffie resigned as president of Richfield, as president of the Pacific Western Oil corporation, and the Pacific Western Oil company.
In a statement today, S. M. Hakins, member of the board of directors of Richfield, said “There is absolutely no question of bankruptcy involved in the present proceedings,” and that “The Richfield company not only does not oppose, but has conented to the appointment of a receiver."
